Then, the job description was aggregatedto a data frame for analysis based on organization domain, roles, life cycle phase, tools, andmethodologies. Each indicator was explored using frequency distribution to derive such patterns. Figure 1. Methodology for systems engineering job description 1.

Studies have already shown that graduate students can besuccessful in a co-teaching role, plus they benefit from mentored experience towards a career in academia[8],[17]. As co-teachers, graduate students can potentially relate closer to the students in that classroomgiven how recently they endured through a similar learning experience for those topics.

The traditional assumption has been that young womenavoid careers in engineering because of their lack of interest in math or of confidence intheir math skills. This assumption is clearly questionable based on the large number offemale psychologists (63%) and biologists (43%) compared to female engineers (10%).3That study3 also indicates that women who are strong in math, and hence candidates forengineering careers, tend to seek careers in the biological sciences instead because “theyvalue working with people…and don’t

It is also important for teams to work on a topic of interest relevant to their researchand career goals, but it was challenging aligning team research topics with all students’ academicbackgrounds.

Literature has also established the positive influence of quality mentorship onstudents and how these relationships can help retain students in their respective fields [11], [12].It has also been found that internships can impact the persistence of underrepresented groups inengineering [13], [14].
